An intimate, human and philosophical look at the life of
the UFC world champion—his journey from years of bullying to the very top of the world of mixed martial arts
A
s the world’s most popular UFC fighter, Georges “Rush” StPierre seems almost impossibly tough and dominant. But long
before he was “GSP,” as his millions of fans know him, he was just a kid
geo r ges s t - pie r r e
harassed by bullies. But he was also a kid who, thanks to years of practicing martial arts, invented his own way of life.
He became a black belt in karate at the age of 12. In his later teens,
working as a garbage collector to finance his unique and innovative
training methods, GSP learned from repeated losses and ultimately
found a way to triumph in a highly competitive field.
Along the way, he discovered a simple truth: never stop reaching
for your goal.
With startling honesty, GSP relates the true story of growing up in
the martial arts and discovering that his passion for learning and con-

The journey of a man who loses everything in one
terrible moment
W
hen Leo, a young painter, arrives on La Mouche, a tiny island
off the coast of Normandy, in 1966, he is in crisis, devastated
by the loss of his French wife and child, who were killed in a terrorist attack in Cyprus two years earlier. The local priest, Père Caron, hopes that
lewis d e so t o
the island will in time work its magic and free Leo from guilt and despair.
Soon, Leo finds himself strangely drawn to two troubled people: Lorca,
a brilliant composer fighting demons from her own past, and Tobias, an
orphaned boy whose wildness masks an inability to speak. But can Leo
ever move beyond his own losses to find, perhaps, a new definition of
love and the restoration of hope?
This luminous novel from the acclaimed author of A Blade of Grass
explores the intersection of creativity and love and the ways in which
the past is woven into the present. DeSoto’s marvellous painterly eye, his
affinity for the natural world and his deep insight into human nature—in
particular, the act of artistic creation—have produced an unforgettable
work of fiction set in a landscape that is the stuff of dreams.

door to the bus, she fights the urge to have a sip, just to take the edge
off. But no, she’s not going to drink today.
But today is the day Colleen’s demons come for her. A very bad
day spirals into night as a series of flashbacks take the reader through
Colleen’s past—moments of friendship and loss, and fragments of peace
and possibility. We see how connections fade, how crippling loneliness
can be, and we witness the importance and grace of one person reaching out to another. The single constant is the bottle—always in reach,
Colleen’s worst enemy and her only friend.
In this partly autobiographical work, acclaimed novelist Lauren B.
Davis has created as searing, raw and powerful a portrayal of the chaos
and pain of alcoholism as we have seen in fiction. With compassion,
insight and an irresistible gallows humour, The Empty Room takes us on
a clear-eyed journey to the depths of addiction and poses the bracing
question of whether it’s ever possible to get all the way back.

Chuvalo traded punches with several all-time greats—Joe Frazier,
George Foreman and, most famously, Muhammad Ali (twice)—yet in
nearly one hundred bouts, he was never knocked down. But his biggest fight came after he hung up his gloves, when drugs and suicide
devastated his family. Chuvalo is both a top-flight boxing memoir and a
poignant, hard-hitting story of coping with unimaginable loss.

is the longest reigning champion in Canadian
boxing history. After teaching himself the basics, he turned pro as an
eighteen-year-old in 1956 and over the next twenty-three years fought
some of the sport’s greatest names. After retiring from the ring in 1979,
Chuvalo has had to come to terms with a series of crushing body blows.
His youngest son, a heroin addict, died of a self-inflicted gunshot
wound. Two others died from heroin overdoses. In between, his first
wife, overcome with grief, took her own life. Yet Chuvalo has stoically
fought back. He formed his Fight Against Drugs foundation in 1996 and
has spent the last seventeen years travelling across Canada and parts of
the United States, talking to tens of thousands of students and young
adults about what happened to his family.

“One story is all stories,” says Colum McCann, author of
the award-winning Let the Great World Spin
I
n his remarkable new novel, Colum McCann masterfully reaches
across the centuries to braid together three unforgettable stories.
In 1845, a black American slave lands in Ireland to champion ideas of
democracy and freedom, only to find a terrible famine unfurling at

his feet. In 1919, two brave young airmen emerge from the carnage
of World War I to pilot the first transatlantic flight from St. John’s,
Newfoundland, to the west of Ireland. And in 1998, an American
senator criss-crosses the ocean in search of a lasting peace in Ireland.
Taking these stories as his point of departure, Colum McCann
weaves together the lives of Frederick Douglass, John Alcock and Teddy
Brown and Senator George Mitchell in a tapestry that is provocative,
ambitious and unforgettable.

than a toddler himself, who can authoritatively spell out preferred toddler
foods (fishy crackers: stat!), sleep training methods (hint: none), and the
proper response to bananas with strings (complete collapse).
With a voice that is at once inimitable and universal, The Honest Toddler has built a loyal following of parents laughing through their tears as
they recognize their own child in the shenanigans of one bravely honest
toddler. From the indignity of a trip to Canadian Tire to the rough park justice of sand-throwing, from the legal torture that is a night of cry-it-out to
the outrage of being served diluted apple juice, The Honest Toddler sets
the record straight in this indispensible guide to parenting, toddler-style.

The bestselling author of Frozen in Time and The Third
Man Factor explores a haunting phenomenon—the
apparition of an unbidden angelic presence in times of
great stress that provides guidance and comfort
J
ohn Geiger’s last book, The Third Man Factor: Surviving the Impossible, explored an extraordinary idea: that people under enormous
J oh n G eige r
stress, sometimes at the edge of death, experience a sense of an incorporeal being beside them, who encourages them to survive. Through
his research and the response from readers around the world, it became
clear to Geiger that explorers and adventurers are not the sole recipients of such interventions.
It’s a phenomenon encountered across the world and shared by
men and women, the religious and the non-religious, throughout history. Under extreme stress, people often encounter a benevolent being
that can perform everyday miracles—saving lives, offering advice, providing a balm to victims and those in the throes of disease.
The Angel Effect describes people’s encounters with this power
when faced with physical and sexual assaults; after terrible car accidents
and airplane crashes; during events like a shark attack or a bank heist; in
the midst of a long illness or in cases of persistent, gnawing loneliness.
It explores how an ancient prayer, discovered by monks in the Egyptian
desert in the early Christian era, may hold the key to accessing the effect at will.

“This deeply humane book is far more than the sum of its parts:

floated serenely inside the car, seemingly the victims of a terrible accident. That morning, Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba and their son,
Hamed, arrived at the Kingston police station to report the four missing.
In a sweeping covert investigation that spanned three continents, police
uncovered layers of lies in the Shafias’ story and developed a horrifying theory: Zainab, Sahar, Geeti and Rona had been the victims of a
meticulously plotted family murder—Canada’s first mass honour killing. In Without Honour, award-winning journalist Rob Tripp draws on
three years of exhaustive research and exclusive interviews to make
sense of a senseless crime in a way no other writer could. His unprece-

a patriarch who fled war and strife in Afghanistan but who did not leave
behind his devotion to repressive tradition. Tripp was the first journalist
on the scene as the news broke and the only reporter to attend every
day of court sessions, through to the convictions of Mohammad, Tooba and Hamed on four counts each of first-degree murder, fuelled by
what Ontario Superior Court Judge Robert Maranger called a “twisted
notion of honour.” In this gripping and compassionate account, Tripp
reveals the heartbreaking and stunning truth about the desperate lives
of four women who died in the pursuit of freedom.

From the acclaimed author of the National Book Award
finalist So Much for That and the international bestseller We Need to Talk About Kevin comes a striking new
novel about siblings, marriage and obesity
F
or Pandora, food is central to life, so central that she sometimes
wonders if “She foraged” should be engraved on her tombstone.
lio n el sh r ive r
For her husband, Fletcher, a self-employed cabinetmaker who crafts
lovely but unaffordable one-of-a-kind furniture, exercise is paramount:
he spends hours a day cycling. But the couple’s comfortable, if sometimes strained, routine is about to be irrevocably changed with the arrival
of Pandora’s big brother, Edison, who is now three times the size he was
when the siblings last saw each other. He is, in fact, morbidly obese.
And it’s not just the weight. Edison interjects himself into Pandora’s
world—breaking Fletcher’s handiwork, making massive breakfasts for
the family and, most disconcertingly, forming a bond with Pandora’s
stepchildren and opening doors to the past and to her parents that she
would rather keep shut.
Determined to keep her family together, and to confront the literal elephant in the room, Pandora embarks on a challenge: she’ll find
an apartment for Edison, move in with him and support him financially,
but only if he loses weight—enough weight to resemble the person he
once was. It will be the hardest thing that Edison has ever done. The
result is a series of transformations so shocking that it throws the family
into chaos and presents Pandora with a challenge of her own: do you
sometimes have to choose between the family you’re born into and
the one you’ve created?

Meanwhile, rising waters flood the city’s streets, turning Romans

Renaissance family, the Borgias
R

Italy, Blood and Beauty opens with Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia,
clever and charismatic, buying his way to the Papal crown. In this he is

not unusual. Neither is the fact that he has illegitimate children. What
does mark him is his blood; he is a Spaniard in a country run by established Italian families. To thrive, even to survive, he must create his own
dynasty using the papacy and his family as the building blocks of power.
His son Cesare is his most brilliant pupil. Fearless and calculating (later
immortalized in Machiavelli’s The Prince), he provides the driving energy
and the muscle. The Pope’s daughter, Lucrezia, beloved by both men, is
their marriage tool. Just twelve when the novel opens, she is to have one
dynastic union annulled and a second—beloved—husband murdered
by her own brother to make way for a third strategic marriage—all before the age of twenty. Hers is a journey from pawn to political player.
Using the high-wire tension of a political thriller, this portrait of
power and its personal costs is the most thrilling family saga to come out
of Italy since The Godfather. The Borgias emerge not as the poisoning
sexual monsters of popular myth, but in all their ruthless determination
and complex humanity. PRAISE FOR SACR ED HE A RTS

after all, and living in a marina made her feel a bit safer, a little less lonely,
almost as if the boat looked after her, hid her away from view.
But her dreams are shattered the night of her boat-warming party

what appears to be a seal frozen in an Arctic iceberg,
they believe they have made a momentous breakthrough in their

and her team realize it is not a seal they have found, but a man.
Carthage orders that the man be brought back to the lab in Boston and
reanimated. They learn that he was—is—Jeremiah Rice, a man born in
1868, whose last memory is of falling overboard into the Arctic Ocean
in 1906. Kate befriends Jeremiah while the media hound him, religious

At twenty-four, Meg Mason was newly married to a man “essentially indistinguishable from a young Matt Damon” after landing her dream
job writing for The Times in London. Nothing, she told herself, could
possibly go wrong. A holiday shortage of birth control and eight months
later, she was heavily pregnant and sobbing on the side of a road over
trading her career for something she knew zip about.
But she soldiered on. One fine Sunday, she invented motherhood
by Having a Baby. On Monday, she discovered that a bunch of women
had already done that, but still they couldn′t tell her how to do it.
Thanks to a helpful neighbour, she learned that convincing a newborn to take a bottle by letting it lick a Dorito first to “get more thirsty”
didn′t always work, but not what to do when your child won′t sleep for
roughly two years, why making friends at the park is more difficult than
meeting deadlines, or how to remove your hand from a stroller—after
you′ve Super-Glued it to the handle.
Hair-raising and hilarious, Say It Again in a Nice Voice is the story
of Meg’s journey from parenting novice to . . . well . . . Meg With Kids.
Along the way she discovers that being a mother, however disasterprone, might just be the only thing that she is truly irreplaceable at.

one night on a hot pink inflatable raft, beckoned by the skyline of Manhattan. Only Val makes it back to land, washed ashore semi-conscious

the physical and emotional landscape of the setting is indelible. Ivy Pochoda has a gift for conveying those arresting details that beautifully
capture a neighbourhood, a night or a city with a few bold strokes. And
then she draws us into a compelling story, a page-turner in the best

need to know these characters better, where they come from and where
they’re heading. A novel about seizing the chance to escape—even at

of Santa Maria, there is a deathly hush. A body has washed up from
the Grand Canal: a woman, wearing the robes of a Catholic priest—a
desecration known as the Abomination.
This is Captain Katerina Tapo’s first murder case. The trail leads her
from the labyrinthine backstreets of Venice to an abandoned asylum
on the uninhabited island of Poveglia, to Carnivia.com, an encrypted
gossip website holding the city’s secrets, to an ancient Catholic monastery, and finally to an American military base. Along the way, she makes
uneasy allies of Lieutenant Holly Boland, a young U.S. army intelligence
officer with unique ties to the country in which she has been stationed,
and Daniele Barbo, a reclusive and brilliant Venetian aristocrat-turnedcomputer-hacker who operates, and fiercely protects, Carnivia.com.
Then, suddenly, the trail goes cold. Evidence goes missing, and Kat is
ordered to close the case.
What follows is the unravelling of a dark and powerful conspiracy
with sinister roots in post–Cold War Italy that will test loyalties Kat did
not know she had. She understands that old crimes cannot be forgotten—left unpunished, corrupt forces will continue to repeat their sins.

that will take them back to the 1940s and the early days of Franco’s

woman’s narrow experience of life is thrown wide with the force
of a raging fire. In the lyrical language of her native Appalachia, Barbara

Kingsolver bares the rich, tarnished humanity of her novel’s inhabitants
and unearths the modern complexities of rural existence. Characters
and readers alike are carried into the unsettled ground of science, faith
and everyday truces between reason and conviction.
Dellarobia Turnbow is a restless farm wife who gave up her own
plans when she accidentally became pregnant at seventeen. Now, after a decade of domestic disharmony on a failing farm, she has settled
for permanent disappointment but seeks momentary escape through
an obsessive flirtation with a younger man. As she hikes up a mountain
road behind her house to a secret tryst, she encounters a shocking sight:
a silent, forested valley filled with what looks like a lake of fire. She can
only understand it as a cautionary miracle, but it sparks a raft of other
explanations from scientists, religious leaders and the media. The bewildering emergency draws rural farms into unexpected acquaintance
with urbane journalists, opportunists, sightseers, and a striking biologist
with his own stake in the outcome. As the community lines up to judge
the woman and her miracle, Dellarobia confronts her family, her church,
her town and a larger world in a flight toward truth that could undo all
she has ever believed.
Flight Behavior takes on one of the most contentious subjects of
our time: climate change. With a deft and versatile empathy, Kingsolver
dissects the motives that drive denial and belief in a precarious world.

His parents’ arrest and imprisonment mean a threatening and uncertain future for Dell and his twin sister, Berner. Willful and burning
with resentment, Berner flees their home in Montana, abandoning her
brother and their life. But Dell is not completely alone. A family friend
intervenes, spiriting him across the Canadian border, in hopes of delivering him to a better life. There, adrift on the Saskatchewan prairie, Dell
is taken in by Arthur Remlinger, an enigmatic and charismatic American
whose suave reserve masks a dark and violent nature.
In this brilliant novel, set largely in Saskatchewan, Richard Ford has
created a true masterwork. Haunting and spectacular in vision, Canada
is a novel rich with emotional clarity and lyrical precision, and an acute
sense of the grandeur of living. Told in spare, elegant prose by one of

“Majestic. . . . There is a sure-footed, plain-spoken quality to Ford’s

But it’s the phone call from a Dr. Nash—a neurologist who claims

directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past

upon whom she has become completely dependent. As the entries accumulate, inconsistencies in Ben’s account jump off the page. What was

An acclaimed neuroscientist transforms our understanding of the relationship between the brain, the
mind and consciousness
W
here does our sense of self originate? What happens to “us”
after our body perishes? Can the mind exist without the
body? These questions have engendered considerable debate through-
M a r io B eau r ega r d
out history and have led successive cultures to develop beliefs about
human nature, immortality and the afterlife. Over the last several centuries, scientists working under the presumption that matter is all that exists
have concluded that consciousness can simply be reduced to a collection of nerve cells in the brain. That is, there is no separation between
self, consciousness and mind—who we are—and the function of brain.
Dr. Beauregard disagrees. He asserts that there are multiple lines of
hard evidence that reveal that the mind and consciousness are transmitted and filtered through the brain, but they are not generated by the
brain. This controversial theory turns accepted science on its head by
showing how mental events—which significantly influence the functioning of our brains and our bodies—can also affect events outside the
confines of the body. In other words, humans are more than complex
biological machines. The fact that our minds function apart from our
brains invites a whole new understanding of the universe.
Filled with the latest scientific research and remarkable stories of the
mind’s incredible abilities, Brain Wars is a page-turning, paradigm-shifting
work. The evidence can no longer be ignored, and Dr. Beauregard introduces a major shift in our understanding of the age-old mind/body
debate. Our consciousness transcends the material world, and this new
understanding has profound social and moral implications for the future.
“Explains why the prevailing brain-mind paradigm is falling apart.
The consequences of this paradigm shift are profound, and
Beauregard does a magnificent job in explaining why.”

In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum goes inside the Internet’s physical infrastructure and flips on the lights, revealing an utterly fresh look
at the online world we think we know. It is a shockingly tactile realm of

pieces together our networks by hand; where glass fibres pulse with

and Facebook have built monumental data centres, Blum chronicles the
dramatic story of the Internet’s development, explains how it all works,

ost people have never heard of prions. Indeed, most are only
barely aware of the diseases they cause, except, perhaps, for
mad cow disease. Yet prions are the stuff of a revolutionary science—a
science that might lead to cures for some of humankind’s most devas-
J ay I n g r am
tating diseases.
Fatal Flaws is a scientific detective story about this elusive protein,
starting with the discovery in the 1950s of kuru, a disease unique to New
Guinea that baffled scientists and carried with it whispers of cannibalism. The revelation of kuru began a scientific stampede to seek out the
agent of this mysterious ailment—the prion—a misfolded protein whose
existence some of the world’s top scientists still find difficult to accept.
Today, the subject of prions remains controversial, yet these proteins
might promise new treatments for some of the most intractable brain
diseases, ones that affect millions around the planet, including Parkinson’s, ALS and Alzheimer’s.

Basilica by Monsignor Luigi Donati, the all-powerful private secretary to
his Holiness Pope Paul VII. The body of a beautiful woman lies broken
beneath Michelangelo’s magnificent dome. The Vatican police suspect
suicide, but Gabriel believes otherwise. So, it seems, does Donati. But
the monsignor is fearful that a public inquiry might inflict another scandal on the Church, and so he calls upon Gabriel to quietly pursue the
truth . . . with one caveat. ”Rule number one at the Vatican,” Donati says.
“Don’t ask too many questions.”
Gabriel learns that the dead woman had uncovered a dangerous
secret—a secret that threatens a global criminal enterprise that is looting timeless treasures of antiquity and selling them to the highest bidder.
But there is more to this network than just greed. A mysterious operative
is plotting an act of sabotage that will plunge the world into a conflict of
apocalyptic proportions . . .
“It’s a grand entertainment to watch Silva putting Gabriel Allon’s
skills to work, whether shedding blood or daubing varnish. A topnotch thriller.” — K I R KUS R E V I E W S (STARRED REVIEW)

very day, newspaper headlines and media commentators

clashes over water and political Armageddon as global demand for
fossil fuels far outstrips supply. Shortages in the commodities markets
have the potential to dramatically affect the way we live. Only one
D ambisa M oyo
country appears to understand the importance of controlling these
crucial assets: China. Over the last several decades, China has taken
forceful action—from buying up mines, agricultural land and oil fields
to rerouting rivers—to achieve market dominance in the future struggle for global resources.
In Winner Take All, international economist and bestselling author
Dambisa Moyo explains the commodity dynamics that the world will
face over the next several decades, focusing in particular on the implications of China’s rush for resources around the world. The scale of
China’s campaign for hard commodities (metals and minerals) and soft
commodities (water and foodstuffs) is among the most aggressive in history, surpassing even the voracious demands for raw materials sparked
by the Industrial Revolution.

“A must-read for teachers and parents.”
—Marion Nestle, author of What to Eat
M
oving her young family to her husband’s hometown in northern
France, Canadian Karen Le Billon is prepared for some cultural
adjustment, but she doesn’t expect a family food revolution. The fancy
foods and snack-free culture she finds there are hard for her picky-eater
Ka r e n L e B illo n
daughters to handle. And equally hard for their mother, who is lectured
for slipping her fussing toddler a snack—“a recipe for obesity!”—and forbidden from sending a brown-bag lunch in lieu of the elaborate fourcourse school lunches intended to teach children to love their veggies.
The family initially rebels, but Le Billon begins to see the wisdom in
a simple set of unwritten “food rules” that govern how the French foster
healthy eating habits and good manners in babies and children. She observes that French kids willingly eat everything—from fruit salad to foie
gras, potato chips to snails, spinach to stinky blue cheese—and that this
practice is considered normal by everyone, including the kids! Moreover,
since diets are almost unheard of for French children, Le Billon discovers yet another version of the famous French paradox: while French kids
love to eat, they are rarely overweight. And, intriguingly, although French

t’s the Depression, but Red’s family is managing better than most
on their Prince Edward Island farm. Hard working and resourceful,
they have enough to eat and to help others, even if at times they are
Rach n a G ilmo r e
mocked by their neighbours for putting education ahead of farm work.
Eleven-year-old Red, with his preference for woodworking, doesn’t always shine at school, but he can’t slack off—his older sister, Ellen, is the
local teacher, and she simply won’t tolerate it.
But when Red’s father is injured, the family’s situation looks dire.
Red must step up to the challenge to finish the tobacco boxes that his
father makes and help shovel out a train stuck in the snow. Stubborn,
even pig-headed, Red makes many mistakes along the way, landing
himself in the midst of some hair-raising and hilarious adventures involving horses, lost sisters, outhouses and even airplanes. But in this
gem of a novel—a CCBC Best Books for Kids and Teens selection and
Girl Guides of Canada Book Club pick—the hero’s heart is always in
the right place.
“Red is a sympathetic, believable character, a rough-and-tumble
eleven-year-old boy for the ages. And like that other famous P.E.I.
literary creation, Anne Shirley, his exploits will appeal to young
readers.” —QU ILL & QU IR E (STARRED REVIEW)
“Gilmore paints an image of . . . a family and a community along
with its values, strengths, challenges and diversity. . . . Readers will
enjoy the perspective of the spirited young boy Red.”
